There is nothing unusual about this. Our military has to be able to train force urban warfare because that is the type of fighting our troops face. During Nam they trained in Louisiana swamps to simulate the jungle. If we ever fighr Russia our troops will train in the North in snow. This is normal.

And about any delusions of our government enacting a police state, capitalism doesnt work in a police state. It requires freedom and innovation. Does anyone seriously think our government is going ro trade their ridiculously large wallet for total control of its people?

I've been saying that for a while. However, knowing how I trained on public property, I find shooting blanks in an area like that to be more than a bit odd.
